How to set the SIM card whose number you plan to use as the default

For numbers that are not in the phonebook, it is recommended that you set a default SIM selection. Generally, the provider with the lowest call price in the country is the right one for this. If the iPhone 11 Dual SIM (and others) has iOS13 installed, you will be able to select either 1 or 2 numbers for iMessage or FaceTime. Here you can also set the SIM that you plan to use to connect to the Internet. If both SIM cards will be used for this (depending on the availability of coverage), then turn on the menu item Allow switching for cellular operators.

How to use 4 active SIM cards at the same time in one iPhone. It’s possible

A few years ago we didn’t even think about the possibility of using a pair of SIM cards in the iPhone. Times change and today you can get a smartphone with four SIMs quite legally and without a file.

It’s not some wild phone from AliExpress with four trays for SIMs, but a real iPhone paired with apps, gadgets, and carrier services.

How to configure the Internet on your iPhone (operator settings)

Any operator’s mobile Internet connection on the iPhone is set up automatically by default. However, due to a reset, including network settings, or by accidentally entering the wrong data, the Internet on the Apple smartphone is no longer available. This guide explains how to manually configure the mobile Internet on your iPhone, and provides connection settings for leading carriers.

How to configure the Internet on your iPhone

To configure the mobile Internet, you first need to go to the View and Change Access Point settings menu:

Launch the “Settings” application.

Go to “Cellular connection” → “Data parameters” menu.

Select “Cellular Data Network”.

You will see a page in front of you where you can manage your access point, modem mode, and other cellular network connection settings. In order to set up the mobile Internet manually, it is necessary to change the section “Cellular data”. It presents three fields: APN, “Username” and “Password”. Specify data in accordance with the settings of your operator, presented below.

Note: If the “Username” and “Password” fields say “no login/no password”, then they must be left blank.

  • At the bottom of the screen, open Manually enter details
  • Enter the eSIM information (such as phone number and other information about your new account) provided by your eSIM provider.

How to connect two eSIMs in iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro

The process of connecting virtual SIM cards on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro is not different from previous models. To do this you will need to:

  • Open Settings.
  • Go to the Cellular section.
  • Click on Add new tariff.
  • Scan the QR code received from the cellular operator or enter the tariff code manually.

You can repeat the procedure several times. A similar mechanism worked in earlier iPhone models. However, in order to use two eSIMs on the same smartphone, users must necessarily disable the physical card. Without this you will not be able to activate two eSIMs at once.

If desired, users will be able to specify in the settings which of the virtual cards will be used for calls, and which for cellular data transfer. Nothing has changed in this regard.

Shows no SIM Card on iPhone 10 Best Solutions

When your iPhone keeps reporting that your device doesn’t have a SIM card installed, you won’t be able to make calls to other cellular networks or connect to wireless data.

This problem is not limited to any particular iPhone model, and even the latest version of the iPhone encounters this problem. It is very unpleasant to suddenly get this error when you need to use it.

It seems like a minor bug, but it often takes serious effort to fix. Here we have listed the top 10 solutions.

When changing the SIM card on the iPhone

The SIM card contained in the connection kit is not only an identification module, but also the storage of phone book entries. The latest models have a memory capacity of 250 numbers. The SIM card provides a convenient way to transfer contacts from one device to another, but this approach cannot be called modern. After all, the same iPhone can store not only numbers but also other contact information. How to transfer contacts from SIM to iPhone and what is it for?

So, it’s time to get eSIM or wait?

If you’re dying to try eSIM and the usefulness of the SIM card in your life is secondary, then why not? The eSIM itself costs nothing, and there are no restrictions on tariffs.

But for those who are planning to use eSIM, I advise you to wait for the options from the “Big Three”.

It’s a pity that there is no choice in Russia yet. You will have to connect to Tele2, and personally for me this is a big minus. Not happy with this operator because of the quality of coverage and internet speed.

In the end I decided that I would use the eSIM of Tele2 purely as an aid to modem mode. I paid 500 per month for 40 gigabytes. In principle, will do. And if I really need a second number.

Taking into account the latest news, I am grateful that it works here at all.

Is it possible to use two active eSIMs from different operators?

Yes. This is the key point where the iPhone 13 (and the rest of the neighboring lineup) is different from previous generations.

The second eSIM is added in the same way as before, just go to the Settings menu. Cellular communication and click on Add new tariff. Then use the QR-code, provided by the operator, or enter the tariff codes manually.

If there is a physical SIM card installed in the iPhone, it has to be disconnected before the second eSIM will work. The iPhone warns about this with a standard dialog box, which the owners of previous iPhone models saw earlier, when they tried to activate more than two eSIMs.

After that, the “SIM” is activated and that’s it. You can use both at the same time.

I have checked incoming calls, incoming SMS and they come without any problems and no switching from your side. It’s really two active eSIMs.

The iPhone 13 also has no problem either “splitting” virtual cards into a preferred one for calls and a preferred one for cellular data, and switching between the two for efficient mobile Internet browsing. That is, when one eSIM stops catching the LTE/3G signal or gives too slow a signal, the iPhone itself will switch the priority of data transmission to the second one.

Bottom line: you can do away with the physical SIM card in the iPhone 13 and still use 2 eSIMs at the same time without losing anything.
